Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes a CPU provided in a first chassis and generating heat, a plate-shaped vapor chamber provided in the first chassis and thermally connected to the CPU to radiate heat, and two heat pipes protruding and extending from the vapor chamber at positions separated from each other. A graphite sheet that is thinner than the vapor chamber is thermally connected to the two heat pipes. A battery device having three cells is provided in the first chassis, and the heat pipe extends into a groove portion formed between the cells.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An electronic apparatus comprising:
 an electrical component provided in a chassis and generating heat;   a plate-shaped heat radiation element provided in the chassis and thermally connected to the electrical component to radiate heat; and a plurality of heat pipes protruding and extending from the heat radiation element at positions separated from each other,   wherein an edge portion of the chassis is made of a heat conductive material,   in the heat radiation element, one of the plurality of heat pipes is provided along the edge portion and is thermally connected to the edge portion,   a battery configured with a plurality of cells is provided in the chassis, and   one of the plurality of heat pipes extends into a groove portion formed between the plurality of cells.   
     
     
         2 . The electronic apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a heat conductive sheet thinner than the heat radiation element is thermally connected to at least one of the plurality of heat pipes.   
     
     
         3 . An electronic apparatus comprising: an electrical component provided in a chassis and generating heat; a plate-shaped heat radiation element provided in the chassis and thermally connected to the electrical component to radiate heat; and a plurality of heat pipes protruding and extending from the heat radiation element at positions separated from each other, wherein a battery configured with a plurality of cells is provided in the chassis, one of the plurality of heat pipes extends into a groove portion formed between the plurality of cells, the plurality of heat pipes is thermally connected to a heat conductive sheet thinner than the heat radiation element, and a gap is provided between the heat conductive sheet and the heat radiation element to expose an electrode portion of the battery. 
     
     
         4 . The electronic apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the plurality of heat pipes is disposed not to overlap the electrical component in plan view.   
     
     
         5 . The electronic apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the heat conductive sheet is a graphite sheet or a metal sheet.
